We thought those tin can speakers from Sprint's Boost Mobile were just some silly joke items when they came out last fall, but now we're not so sure if there's a larger trend at work.

Why? It turns out there's a media player shaped like a soda can too.

This MP3 can from China-based Neux has an OLED screen, FM radio, built-in microphone, and storage ranging from 128MB to 4GB, according to PMP Today.

It comes in red an blue red, which raises an obvious question: Why didn't Coke or Pepsi do this first?

The Chinese characters on the can does read "Coca-Cola", though I'm sure it has not been licensed.
